Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported24m ago
The United States State Department announced on Wednesday the extension of visa sanctions targeting Palestinian Authority officials and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The policy shift broadens existing restrictions ahead of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.
As a direct result of these extended curbs, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been barred from attending the U.N. General Assembly. According to officials, the actions stem from U.S. concerns regarding diplomatic and political steps taken by Palestinian leadership that are viewed as being at odds with diplomatic comity.
